Mayer production. Absolutely mint. This is probably the 3rd or 4th
time this has been in the light. Looking at other offerings on line NONE are
more mint than this. This was part of a collection that came to light in Red
Lodge, Montana in the mid-1970s. A local vet had been part of the troops
liberating Dachau and the surrounding industrial area and he loaded a duffle bag
with things right off the warehouse shelves. A collector who ended up working
for Manion’s auction was first on the spot and sold this to a another local
collector to pay for the deal.

Cased 1939 Iron Cross 1st Class
$750

This is another part of the
Red Lodge haul. No cardboard presentation case. Beautiful mint medal in domed
case. Produced by Freidrich Orth of Wien. Note that beautiful discoloration on
the case backing cloth! Super! Like the one before these are not out in the
wild anymore!

1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class.
Mint as you can get! $500

Another Red Lodge piece.
The only thing wrong here is tear on paper envelope. I’m not taking this out of
the wrapping paper. When you own it you can, but that would be crazy! This
photo is just how the medal and ribbon slid out of the envelope. Not a rare
medal in itself, this is a mint time capsule you won’t see the likes of again!
$500.

Maskenbrille

card of the 'Kinder mit Hund' & Feldpost novel. All brought back by

M35 Helmet
$1700

Beautiful
Montana vet bring back. This was a double decal helmet that has had the
national colors removed in the field. This is a bit rare as most of these had
the decal removed and repainted then re-issued during the war. This helmet saw
action until captured and stuck in the duffle bag! A great price for what
is essentially a rare double decal Army helmet.

Original SS Dagger

SS RZM 7/29, Rare German SS Dagger, Klittermann & Moog. Nickel silver fittings, anodized scabbard. The motto is correct for
the maker as is the makers mark, the Rune enamel is in great shape with a few
small chips in the glass, the eagle is correct and nickel silver with great
patina. The cross guards are nickel silver and are not District marked as are
most of the examples of this rare dagger, the grip has no cracks, a few dings
here and there and some chips at the lower guard. The fit is perfect on this
dagger. I cannot see any scratches on the upper at the pommel and it looks as
though it has never been turned. There is a small ding in the lower ball. Some
oxidation and pitting in the scabbard. $4500.

You know these
replicas, used as display stand-ins for collections while originals are held in
the safety deposite box. No more of these are
coming my way as the money guys making these have pretty much flooded the market
with these sold as 'original'. No markings. Stunning work!
